WWF Together
Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.

A Lot or a Little?
The parents' guide to what's in this app.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that WWF Together is an interactive app that teaches kids about endangered species. Several animals are featured, each with gorgeous photographs, videos, and interactive elements. Kids need to read some text as they explore, and there's no audio support. Also, there's an ungated option on several of the screens that prompts users to add an email address to get on an email group list. Read the app's privacy policy to find out about the types of information collected and shared.

What’s It About?
To begin exploring the stories of the endangered animals in WWF TOGETHER, kids simply press the start prompt. They scroll to see the gorgeous enlarged photographs of the animals and tap the one they want to learn about. Kids then scroll left, right, up, or down to move through the content for each animal. They'll find fun facts, conservation news, more photographs, videos, and simple activities that allow for interaction with the animals. Kids can also create a digital origami of each animal, take a selfie with it, place it in a scene, and/or share it with friends. Paper origami instructions are also available.
Is It Any Good?
This educational tool does a fantastic job of using beautiful photographs and interactive elements to get kids interested in the important topic of conservation -- and it's free! With 16 animals to explore, kids have plenty to learn about. There are similar features in each animal story, but the diversity of the animals and the variety of fun facts and interactions keep things interesting. An option for narration would make WWF Together more accessible.
